I can't think of a compelling reason to split them. If they are
co-located on the network why would you do it?
My preference would be to leave them as one - it halves your
administration effort, reduces your licensing.
We are running 1 farm of 110 servers in 2 zones on the same s/w spec
initially for one suite of apps, but are adding new apps constantly
evenly to each zone with no dramas.
Providing you have a good test system available so that you aren't
testing live and stuffing up all users (but we ALWAYS test EVERYTHING
before we put it into production don't we - Why can hear everyone
sniggering in agreement) I don't see any reason. It just sounds like a
way to create more work for yourselves.

typo in 3.
It should read.
3) It is a concern. I don't want to increase costs but if there is a
compelling reason why we should separate the two zones into two
different
farms, we will need to purchase additional licenses.

1) They are managed by the same people.
2) We use NFuse 1.71 for both Zones. User has no clue which Zone and
the
could connect to a zone 1 server and a zone 2 server from the Nfuse
published application page.
3) It is a concern. I don't want to increase costs but if there is a

server
are running W2k, SP2, MetaFrame XPe FR2/SP2
Thanks for your questions Ron.

Well this is a design question really so several q's come to mind
1- are they managed by the same people?
2- What type of connection between the two farms.. or zones?
3- Is the sharing of licensing a concern?
4- Are you running the same flavors of MF

Subject: [THIN] Advantages between one or multiple farms
HI gang,
We have some people wondering if we should have one large farm (with
multiple Zones) or multiple Farms.
We currently have 35 servers in Zone 1 of a farm and about 5 servers
currently in Zone 2. Zone 1 and Zone 2 will increase in time but I
would
guess 50 servers per zone will be the max.
Do you recommend that we separate the two groups of servers by Farm
rather
then by Zone. What is the advantages and what are the disadvantages?
Can
you point me to documentation that may support either case?
Thank You.
